Hello! This is sadly my final post for Cheery Lynn Designs. When it came time to re-apply or not, I chose not to. Like I wrote before, my load just got to be too much. I assure you I will use CDL dies in my day-to-day projects, I REALLY do love these dies and the company. Once you work with the best there's no going back. :)

I don't know about you but I've got Fall fever! I love waking up to the crisp cool air and seeing the leaves begin to change. I made a layout using the super-detailed Dimensional Leaves dies.

I arranged the leaves as if they are floating off the Autumn tree. To make the tree I used several sized circles from the Little Stackers Nesting Dies. I used the twig shaped arms from the Frosty The Snowman die to make a few branches. (I love that trick:))

My last post featured papers from the new October kit at Birds Of A Feather. Today I have a few more projects to share using the same WONDERFUL kit. I can't tell you how much I love this kit already...its great for back to school, Fall photos or in this case... pictures of my favorite two little boys playing in the waterfall. They are so sweet, I just love them to pieces!

I also made a card for someone who I recently moved away from but she really made an impact on my life in such a short time. Its great to have such wonderful friends.

You can get your kitHERE, it is full of Crate Paper goodnes! You won't be sorry, you'll love this kit.

Well, hello! Today I want to share another layout using dies from my favorite die company, Cheery Lynn Designs. For this project I kept the design very simple because I wanted the focus to be on the dies.

I used several of the flourishes and flower dies to create this flowing cluster of goodness. ;)

Happy Monday all! This month's kit from Birds Of A Feather is one of my favorite kits ever! I am usually not a "pink" person but these patterned papers from Echo Park and all of the yummy matching embellies are just divine.I made two more layouts with this gorgeous kit and a matching sketch for this one, just to give you some inspiration.

These are two of my beautiful nieces. They are 21 years apart and both naturually beautiful.Don't you just love this soft, feathered flower? It's in the kit...;)

And one more closeup...I used several of the French Paastry doily dies from Cheery Lynn Designs. I scrunched them all up to make this ruffled look under the circle.

I am really excited about this month's new releases at Cheery Lynn Designs. They've come out with even more fabulous doilies, borders and frames.I made this card using the new Mediterranean Lace Rectangle Frame, Lace Rose and Flourishes, and the Stacker Flower leaf.

I love how intricate and detailed these amazing dies are. There really is nothing like them.

Check out their website and BLOG to see all of the other releases ( yes, there is A LOT more) and more beautiful projects from the DT.

Hi and happy Monday! This month I will be taking a break from the monthly sketch challenge. I may post a sketch now and then but I won't have any examples from the design team and there will not be a sponsor. This month is going to be soooooo busy for me that something had to give.

Just so you're not too disappointed with me, here is this month's sketch that I made for Scrapnart online magazine.
